The Opportunity

We’re looking for anAI & LLM Solutions Engineerto spearhead the integration of cutting-edge AI systems into our manuscript writing workflow. You’ll leverage Large Language Models (LLMs), data pipelines, and emerging techniques such as Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to power the creation of outlines and first drafts from interview transcripts—ultimately streamlining our editorial process.

In this role, you’ll collaborate closely with cross-functional teams—from editorial and product to engineering and data science—to ensure that every manuscript isaccurate, compelling, and fully reflects our clients’ voices.

If you have a passion for AI, a knack for creative problem-solving, and a commitment to delivering high-quality solutions, we want to hear from you!

Key Responsibilities

• Generate a well-written manuscript, preserving client’s unique voice from a series of interview transcripts in a scalable, automated format. 
• Design & Implement Advanced AI Workflows:Develop and refine our AI-assisted pipeline for creating outlines, first drafts, and sample chapters, incorporating RAG or equivalent state-of-the-art techniques to handle large volumes of transcript data and context windows.
• Innovation & Continuous Improvement:Stay up-to-date with the latest AI/LLM research and best practices, continually introducing relevant tools (e.g., LangChain, vector databases) and frameworks to the process.

• Tackle Hallucinations & Inaccuracies:Devise strategies (e.g., advanced prompt engineering, verification checkpoints) to minimize AI-generated factual errors and hallucinations in manuscripts.
• Capture the Client’s Voice:Implement tools and methods that embed each storyteller’s unique language and style within AI outputs, ensuring authenticity and personal resonance.
• Optimise Data Pipelines:Work on data ingestion, transformation, and management to streamline the flow of transcripts, editorial feedback, and AI outputs between our platform (Bookmaker), and LLMs.
• Enhance Scalability:Identify and implement improvements to handle large transcripts (200K+ words) and multi-threaded processes without compromising speed or quality.
• Collaborate & Communicate:Interface with editorial teams to understand feedback loops and content accuracy needs; relay technical possibilities and constraints to non-technical stakeholders.
